"Did not live up to the hype. I know this guy is very popular right now, and perhaps his LIVE courses are great. On video it was just OK. I will state that the stretches outlined are good and the instrustion is detailed however it is all too fast..not relaxing..and don't allow the length of the video to fool you. It boils down to 2 7min segments..that is it. I usually end up pausing it, so I can hold the a stretch position for a decent lenght of time, he tends to just hold a position for about 10 seconds...so if you are looking for a relaxing deep stretch I would not recommend this video. I use this for a quick pre-work out stretch."

I wanted to like this DVD, but it was awful

"Way to much talking! Why would the instructor spend sssoooo much time talking. It was grating.
This DVD starts with, what else, explanations of of the stretches, a short anatomy lessons, the instructors opinions about physical fitness. After all that, there is a short preview of the 10 poses you are "going" to do. Then, a 7 minute routine (still more talking during this) of the first 10 pose stretch.
After that, there are more lessons, more talking and a short explanation of poses 11-20 (or something like that). Then more talking and another 7 minute routing of these poses. Why not put everything together. Do not waste you money on this one...there are too many good stretch/yoga DVD's out there."
